Summer birthday

I'm so happy I managed to find a little crafty time this weekend.


I was inspired by Kathy Racoosin's pop-up challenge and by this card by Nichole Heady as seen in this post.

I stamped the larger stamp (Papertrey Ink, Friendly Flowers) using a variety of inks (Papertrey Ink and Hero Arts). The smaller image was created by stamping one of the flower images from the set through a mask. I happened to have just the rught size circle stamp to create my mask. The sentiment (Avery Elle, Brushed) was stamped in Archival black ink. I matted my panel onto a black A2 card and finished my card by drawing a few lines using a Micron pen, adding a little clear Wink of Stella in the centres of the large circles and adding drops of Glossy Accents on top.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

(you have 1 more day to play along)


Happy Little Stampers - CAS: masking

My first stamping attempt did not go as I had hoped, but I managed to salvage part of it and turned it into this sunny card. I used my SSS stitched square dies to create the square panel and frame. Love how it turned out.
